Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text mentions that an emotional factor underlying narcissistic personality disorder is a deep sense of inadequacy, which manifests in the narcissist's need for excessive admiration and their tendency to react to criticism with anger or extreme self-doubt. Grandiosity and confidence are external manifestations of the disorder, rather than underlying emotional factors. While depression can co-occur with narcissistic personality disorder, it is not necessarily a defining emotional factor.
